Indeed, my bad.
At those steps, the bypass is not selected, the drivers switches to the 
24MHz clock. It's selected only between 42ns and 49ns

yes, so we have:
- 20ns->29ns: 2 period cycles, pwm prd=50MHz (so, 0%, 50% and 100% duty)
- 30ns->39ns: 3 period cycles, pwm prd=33MHz (so, 0%, 33%, 66% and 100% 
duty)
- 40ns->41ns: 4 period cycles, pwm prd=25MHz (so, 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 
100% duty)
- 42ns->49ns: 24MHz bypass (so 0%, 50% and 100% duty)
- 50ns->59ns: 5 period cycles, pwm prd=20MHz (so, 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% 
and 100% duty)

The ordering stated by pwm_round_waveform_might_sleep() documentation is 
period_length_ns, duty_length_ns and then duty_offset_ns, but what about 
duty steps?
It's not stated in there because it's not a user input, but still, it's 
a quite important value for a pulse width *modulator*.

My point here is that there's a choice between 2 implementations:
- Consider the bypass as an emergency tool in order to get frequencies 
that are out of bound of the PWM logic (so that would mean only 100MHz) 
and in this case, we have more duty steps for the other periods, like a 
standard pulse width modulator
- Or consider that the bypass is part of the PWM logic and don't bother 
looking at duty steps. In this case, it's used to get closer frequencies 
to what is requested, and have only 0/50/100% duty for those case.
(and for this driver, the only case is for the 42ns to 49ns periods)

I'm more enclined to choose the 1st case, because a bypass bypasses the 
PWM logic (!) and we can say that it's not part of the PWM and should 
only be used for the clk-provider part and to reach the 100MHz PWM 
frequency, but that's only my point of view.
